D&C 86:2 · Matthew 13:38
This connection's citations are checked against the source text.
The mark sits beside every quote a connection carries. It reports one thing: those words were found in the frozen source text at the reference this page cites, allowing only typographic differences such as curly quotes, dash forms and spacing.
It is not a tier signal, and it is not a judgment about the connection. Where a card carries the Interpretive badge, the reading is still offered with its evidence for you to weigh — the mark speaks only to the citations.
The badges and the mark are separate signals: Textual and Interpretive name the kind of claim a connection makes, while the mark reports that the connection's citations were checked.
Four words, and the divergence is the verb's tense. The exact strings sort the two carriers cleanly: 'the field was the world' stands at exactly one distinct frozen verse in the corpus and 'the field is the world' at exactly one. A second divergence is the identification that follows: the parable's explanation names the sower as the Son of man and the good seed as the children of the kingdom; the revelation names the sowers as the apostles, a term the parable's explanation does not use anywhere. The section names the parable in its first verse. Registered at the 2026-08-11 editorial review. Minted asserted_by: source at the 2026-08-10 editorial review.
